New AW71 problems 700

I made a previous post earlier today regarding the problems ive had today and yesterday with my 87 744ti. After returning from a short road trip and parking it for a few hours I went to drive it again and it wouldnt shift at all. Parked it overnight and today I adjusted the kickdown cable and still nothing. However after letting it idle until reaching operating temps and it ran fine. Fine however is a subjective term. Fine is in comparison to not shifting at all. I dont know if its in my head but it seems like when going into boost i have far less power than i remember and im also getting a pretty bad driveline vibration when accelerating hard and slowing down, but i think this problem might be unrelated. The car has 234k on the clock and hasnt had a tranny fluid change in the last 20k since ive owned the car and would guess it had been awhile since i bought it. Any ideas? The other thing is that im not sure if this will be a situation where I will just have to cut my losses and get rid of the car if it turns out to need a new tranny. Being a student and seeing as I paid 1350.00 for the car and it needs numerous other things(i.e body work wiring harness etc...) im not sure where the point of diminishing return lies. Ive put hundreds of $$ into it lately including heater core,motor mounts,water pump exhaust etc etc etc... not only the money ive put into it but the blood sweat and tears. Before this turns into a rant, thanks for any help in advance.
